POLITICS: El Rufai To Sue Union for Alleging He Declared N90b And 40 Mansions As Assets

Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El Rufai has slammed claims he
declared his assets to be worth N90 billion and 40 houses in the Abuja. A
publication The Union claimed this was listed at the Code of Conduct
Bureau.. According to a statement signed by the governor's media aide, Samuel Aruwan,it is blatant falsehood and they plan to sue. After a busy few weeks as governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is dismayed
by the blatant falsehood being practised as journalism by The Union
newspapers. He has consequently directed his legal team to vigorously
enforce his rights to protect his reputation from the vandalism of
irresponsible hacks. The Union chose to write a spurious story alleging
N90b as his assets declaration without seeing the declaration made by
Malam El Rufai. The circle of blackmail that did the story claimed they
heard a rumour, and they pursued the rumour so vigorously they
transformed it into news. When some of their cohorts made contact with
the governor’s media team insisting that they respond to rumour, they
were told that it is better if they chose the more legitimate route of
agitating for a public asset declaration. Fair minded people who read
the story will notice that it is not grounded in any evidence. It is
just the animus of blackmailers who regard Malam Nasir El-Rufai as easy
prey. But since his reputation is not based on purchased kudos, he
cannot be compelled into accommodation with venal people masquerading as
journalists.

Malam Nasir El-Rufai is a privileged Nigerian. He
qualified as a chartered Quantity Surveyor early in life and became a
dollar millionaire in his twenties. He is a respected leader in in his
professional field but as successful as he has been in his career, he
certainly has neither N90 billion nor 40 mansions. He will not be
distracted from his total focus on making Kaduna great again. In this
endeavour, he will continue to be accessible to practitioners of
responsible journalism.
